From the shimmer of sunlight on the waves to the sleek curves of a racing yacht, my paintings are immersive, evoking the spirit of coastal beauty with unparalleled precision. Each commissioned work is created with careful attention to detail, ensuring that the final piece reflects the client’s vision while staying true to my artistic approach. With decades of experience and a deep commitment to my practice, I strive to bring a distinctive perspective to contemporary maritime art.

My exclusivity is at the heart of my artistic practice. Every painting is a singular creation, meticulously crafted to reflect the grandeur and dynamism of the maritime world. Originals are available from this website.

On this website, you’ll find a small selection of the many paintings I’ve created over the years as a professional fine art painter. Each piece is close to my heart, and I’m grateful that many have found lasting homes with collectors. Over time, the value of my work has steadily grown, which means that owning one of my paintings can be both a meaningful addition to your space and a sound investment in fine art.

There will also be a 'Paintings for Sale' page, which will only list originals that are available for purchase.

Endeavouring to become eco-friendly as an artist

Oil paintings have always used plant-based oils, such as linseed, walnut or poppy. As a professional artist, I am committed to using artist products (e.g. paint pigments, mediums, thinners, brush cleaners,) which are sourced through natural and ethical processes and use plant-based oils while still maintaining high quality results. Eco-friendly packaging materials: I now use packaging products that are free of plastic and are recyclable and degradable when packaging my artworks for transportation to buyers, art exhibitions and art galleries.
